So, I've talked to a few of you about newly discovering knitting. I was soo proud that a scarf was actually starting to form. This afternoon my son ( 3 years old) ripped it apart. I'm so frustrated.

Sorry just needed to vent.

Oh -- I'm so sorry to hear that!

Rewind your yarn and take a few deep breaths.

Then cast on and try again.

You'll be fine and so will your scarf.

Soon your son will be a teenager and he won't give your knitting a second glance. :teehee:

Best,
Susan

Or he could become like my 13yo son and watch constantly. I've frequently asked him if he wants to learn. He says no, but we'll see. I taught him to cross-stitch about a year ago. ;)

I am sorry that happened, i know thats a blow to the gut
but now you can make those little adjustments you were lamenting not doing while you did the last 5 rows
you know the ones i mean
the naggling little ideas on how to make this project just PERFECT
if only you had thought of it sooner

Sorry that happened to you.
I have some little helping hands too. I learned quickly to put my knitting up, out of their reach!
You are not alone. :hug:

Seems most of us have had it happen either with kids or pets. :shrug: Lesson learned...keep it put up when you aren't working on it. :heart:

This makes me think of... the "keep out of reach of children" label on some products :rofl: yeah... keep out of reach of children should be the best way, I'm sorry that your scarf was distroyed :pout:

Oh and I just noticed! Mason's got a new haircut! :teehee:

BTDT, unfortunately. I've actually had it happen a few times with both my son (2.5), and my cats. I am a hard learner I guess :??
